Authentic DateJust 116233?

I just bought my first Rolex Datejust 36mm (116233) 2018, from eBay. They offer a watch authentication service with every purchase, and mine passed authentication. Being that this is my first Rolex, I tried Google searching Rolex fakes, and what to look out for. Everything checks out fine based off the guides however, my serial # starts with the letter "A" and the guide mentions "A" serial are from 1999, even though my card is dated for 2018.

Since about 2010-2011 Rolex has been using completely random serial numbers. They can begin with any letter or number, and have any combination.

This is the answer, and you might want to cover your serial in the photo.
